Plum and Pear Cobbler
 
 
Admittedly, I'm not great about eating fruit. Very rarely, I'll bite into an apple, but give me a luscious bunch of kale and I'm all over it. So I always feel bad when I have to toss squishy apples and pears away because no one has eaten them. But baked fruit, I can do. I'll take apple pie or a fruit tart over chocolate cake any day, and add some nondairy ice cream and I'm a happy camper. I wasn't about to let these pears and plums whither away on my counter, so the Seventh Grader and I made this wonderful cobbler!

Ingredients
  • 4 pears, sliced (leave the skins on)
  • 4-5 plums, slice (with skins)
  • ½ C brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ C vegan margarine, cut into chunks
  • 1 C oats
  • ¼ C almond milk (or other nondairy milk)
  • Nondairy ice cream (optional)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375. Combine the fruit in a baking dish--an 8x8 would be fine.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, margarine, oats, and milk. Use a fork or pastry blender to combine everything; making sure the butter turns to small pea-sized pieces. It will be a wet mixture. Top the fruit with the oat mixture.
  3. Bake covered for 20-25 minutes. (It will smell sooooo good baking . . . :) ) Top with some nondairy ice cream and thoroughly enjoy!
